Do paper 1.19 plugins work on 1.20 versions as well?
Like the title says I'm wondering if plugins that don't have a version for the newest version of minecraft would still work on a server.

most
do except ones with nms
whats nms?
net.minecraft.server
some plugins need it
and its version dependent
would i find those on most of the like plugin pages?
Many plugins don't tell u if they use nms or not
U would have to look at the code
Or just try it on a test server
Or get plugins made for your version
alright thanks!
Only if the new version actually changed the plugin it depends on
people will rate a plugin 1 star on spigot and be like “UPDATE THE PLUGIN👿👿” not knowing that nothing about the new version breaks the plugin
So yeah it depends and like programing said if it depends on nms then yes the plugin will break but if it doesn’t then it probably won’t break unless it depends on something that gets removed or fundamentally changed in the new version. For example 1.20 -> 1.20.1 broke basically no plugins
what is the purpose of nms? also didnt they change a few other things from 1.18.2 to 1.20.1 like materialcolor was replaced with mapcolor?
cause all the plugins i use for 1.18.2 are busted on later versions, and its not just because it reaches into mojang code
nvm it looks like its an issue with changes to minecraft,
net.minecraft.world.level.material.MaterialColor
i guess mc is breaking more plugins than bukkit/spigot isits meant for modding but a lot of plugins use these too so i might as well include it. https://gist.github.com/ChampionAsh5357/cf818acc53ffea6f4387fe28c2977d56

if they dont reach into mojang code
they should work on newer servers
yeah spigot intentionally has a backwards compat api
(1.14-ish)
so they wont break
1.13 is when they changed plugin api a lot but pre 1.13 code actually has its code edited to work on servers
yeah, as long as the plugin doesn't have
import net.minecraft.xxx you should be okso what are you talking abt here
oh wait im stupkd
didnt see next message oopsie
i was wrong cause i thought material colors was spigot

here's a quick search of the plugin to see just how much just one plugin reaches into mc code that i use.
afaik 1 method is broken entirely (MapColours.java), and another might still work but worse. (ChunkLoadedFilter.java)
